Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri says that Saturday's match against Norwich City will be "harder" than their game against Arsenal, which ended in a 2-1 loss.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has described his side's game against Norwich City as "harder" than the meeting that they had with fellow Premier League title challengers Arsenal on February 14.

The Foxes, who have a three-point lead at the top of the table, suffered just their third league defeat of the season against Arsenal.

The game stood at 1-1 in the closing stages at the Emirates, but Danny Welbeck managed to score a crucial winner fives minutes into stoppage time.

This weekend, Leicester face relegation battlers Norwich at the King Power Stadium, but Ranieri has warned his players not to lose focus.

"I told my players that it will be a big battle on Saturday," Ranieri told reporters. "It will be harder than against Arsenal. I want to see my players concentrated and angry because of the way we lost in the last minute.

"We want to grow and stay at a high level. Now, we have to manage the pressure and have the confidence. It's new for us. Now we are looking forward. The five matches next for us, I believe they can be key in our season."

As well as Norwich, Leicester face West Bromwich Albion, Watford, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace in their next five games.
